Abstract

A method for automatic updating of an access path to the system disk of a hardware perimeter of computer resources during launching of an operating activity on this perimeter includes during the installation of a new system disk, a step of saving the lower part of the access path to the new system disk in a list of access paths, on the occasion of the definition of the operating activity, a step of associating with this activity one of the lower parts stored in the list of access paths, and on the occasion of the launching of the activity on a perimeter, a step of automatic updating of the access path contained in the working memory of the perimeter as a function of the lower part of the access path associated with this activity during its definition. A system and memory for implementing the method are also discussed.
